VPATH should work in b19.  Keep in mind that the default installation
has make running in a Unix-compatibility mode as I just explained in
a response to Ernie Boyd's question about MAKE_MODE.  In this mode,
colon is the path list separator.

If MAKE_MODE isn't set, the path list separator will be a semi-colon
which is maybe what your DOS-based project assumes...
